Ingredients
For the Chicken Marinade
- 1 pound Chicken breast
- 2.5 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2.5 tablespoons Lemon juice freshly squeezed
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves minced
- 1 teaspoon Oregano
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Red pepper flakes optional
For the Fresh Salsa
- 1.25 cups Cucumbers chopped
- 1 cup Tomatoes chopped
- 1 cup Bell pepper chopped
- 0.25 cup Red onion chopped
- 2 tablespoons Parsley chopped
- 0.75 cup Feta crumbled
For Assembly
- 8 pieces Pitas
- 1 cup Tzatziki
Instructions
Preparation
- Marinate the chicken. In a bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, oregano, paprika, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes. Add the chicken breast and coat evenly. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes.
- Prepare the salsa. While the chicken marinates, chop cucumbers, tomatoes, bell pepper, and red onion. In a separate bowl, mix these veggies with parsley and crumbled feta. Set aside to allow flavors to meld.
- Cook the chicken. Heat your grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the marinated chicken for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until it's cooked through and has nice grill marks.
- Warm the pitas. In the last few minutes of cooking, warm the pitas on the grill or in the oven until they're soft and pliable.
- Assemble the tacos. Slice the grilled chicken and place it inside the warm pitas. Top with the fresh salsa and a generous dollop of tzatziki. Enjoy!
Notes
Optional: Sprinkle extra feta and parsley on top for added flavor and presentation.
